Proverbs 5 ¹ My son, pay attention to my wisdom; your ear to my understanding; ² so that you will preserve discretion and your lips keep watch over knowledge. ³ For the lips of a woman who is a stranger drop honey, her mouth is smoother than oil; ⁴ but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, sharp as a double-edged sword. ⁵ Her feet , her steps lead straight to Sh'ol; ⁶ she doesn't walk the level path of life- her course wanders all over, but she doesn't know it. ⁷ So now, children, listen to me; don't turn away from what I am saying: ⁸ distance your way from her, from the door of her house; ⁹ so that you won't give your vigor to others and your years to someone who is cruel, ¹⁰ so strangers won't be filled with your strength and what you worked for go to a foreign house. ¹¹ Then, when your flesh and bones have shrunk, at the end of your life, you would moan, ¹² "How I hated discipline! My whole being despised reproof, ¹³ I ignored what my teachers said, I didn't listen to my instructors. ¹⁴ I took part in almost every kind of evil, and the whole community knew it." ¹⁵ Drink the water from your own cistern, fresh water from your own well. ¹⁶ Let what your springs produce be dispersed outside, streams of water flowing in the streets; ¹⁷ but let them be for you alone and not for strangers with you. ¹⁸ Let your fountain, the wife of your youth, be blessed; find joy in her- ¹⁹ a lovely deer, a graceful fawn; let her breasts satisfy you at all times, always be with her love. ²⁰ My son, why be infatuated with an unknown woman? Why embrace the body of a loose woman? ²¹ For a man's ways; he surveys all his paths. ²² A wicked person's own will him, he will be held fast by the ropes of his sin. ²³ He will die from lack of discipline; the magnitude of his folly will make him totter and fall.
